About this map

The Approximate Old Indian Boundary cuts through this landscape where the Canadian River separates Seminole and Pontotoc counties. In the late 1950s, the region was characterized by its scattered cemeteries and rural institutions, including the Old Mission Cem, Tiger Cem, and Harjo Cem. The industrial footprint of the era is clearly visible through numerous Oil Wells and a defined Oil Field surrounding the town of Sasakwa.

Transportation is dominated by the St Louis San Francisco railroad line, which connects the main settlements of Sasakwa and Francis. Local life centered around small schools and churches like Cedar Grove Sch and Spring Ch, while the terrain is marked by the winding courses of Little River and Sand Creek. The presence of several family-named cemeteries and landmarks like Rocky Point suggests a deeply rooted local history tied to the land and the river bottoms.
